<betawaffle>
i mean... i *could* pair with my cell phone
<betawaffle>
let's see if that works... sec
<betawaffle>
tada
<betawaffle>
ok, so that will work, when the time comes
<betawaffle>
switching back
<gchristensen>
cool
<betawaffle>
in unrelated news... i discovered tmpfiles.d yesterday
<gchristensen>
oh cool

flokli: so do I need to power off the switch to fix the serial?
<flokli>
gchristensen: I'd first check if the ground is properly connected
<flokli>
no idea why the serial is bugged as hell
<flokli>
you don't have ssh to the switch, do you?
<gchristensen>
ah
<gchristensen>
I ... don't think I do, but I should set that up :P
<cransom>
the ex? no ssh? how dare you sir.
<gchristensen>
I prefer to use serial
<gchristensen>
it lets me really experience the grain of the switch
<cransom>
that's fine i guess. i mean you can be wrong all you'd like, but serial is for emergencies.
<gchristensen>
haha
<gchristensen>
I can almost never actually _use_ the serial port
<gchristensen>
it is almost always messed up
<cransom>
`Last configured: 2019-03-03 19:47:47 UTC (39w5d 00:57 ago)` . yep, that's been a while.
<gchristensen>
eh?
<cransom>
(show system uptime)
<gchristensen>
oh yeah this thing uses the rj45-serial adapter
<gchristensen>
woohoo I ssh'd in.
<gchristensen>
flokli: it looks like this ra guard feature is off by default?
<flokli>
gchristensen: I never said it was on
<gchristensen>
ah
<flokli>
it was just a heads up, there might be some weird stuff configured
<gchristensen>
want to tmate? :)
<flokli>
oof, I'm currently very efficiently working through some other backlog. I'd like to keep doing so for a while
<gchristensen>
of course
<gchristensen>
I'm not seeing much about the default state of ra guard
<cransom>
on the switch? unless you've made a lot of changes, it's generally agnostic v6 settings. v4 for that matter too really.
<gchristensen>
I haven't made many changes
<gchristensen>
we're seeing somewhat suspicious behavior, whehre the router is sending out RAs and they're not reaching my laptop unless it is establishing the initial connection
<gchristensen>
and that goes router -> juniper switch -> unifi APs
<cransom>
hrm. unifi.
<cransom>
is this over wifi?
<gchristensen>
yeah
<cransom>
and laptop is the only one on the wifi doing that?
<gchristensen>
I *think* so. I'll add another /64 to the interface on the router and see if my phone picks it up
<gchristensen>
my phone didn't pick it up either, however devices wired which don't go over the switch or unifi did pick it up. let's see what happens if it goes over the switch but not the AP.
<betawaffle>
the juniper switch is clearly the problem
<gchristensen>
it is a bit tricky to test this one
<gchristensen>
ah, no, that did work
<gchristensen>
my probe noticed the new address
<flokli>
ok
<flokli>
so it's unifi
<flokli>
</3
<cransom>
i won't say it's always the wireless, but it's always the wireless.
<gchristensen>
lol
<flokli>
those who know the wireless take the wire if possible?
<flokli>
maybe some stupid "multicast optimization" which in fact breaks prefix rotation. great.
<cransom>
i tried to manage a couple wireless networks in smaller/mediumish enterprise and i tell you every minute of those experiences were soul sucking.
<cransom>
across vendors (trapeze and aruba), didn't matter. it was all painful.
<cransom>
'did you try turning it off and on again'
<flokli>
maybe I should stick with my guerilla hostapd access point I currently have, and not bother switching to the unifis again
<flokli>
however, hostapd or the kernel driver seem to get confused about what country they're in, and sometimes pick the wrong channel. At least on the 5GHz wifi :-/
<cransom>
my wireless world has always been basically problem free, assuming that it was just a single ap. as soon as you have more of them, then phantom issues abounds.
<flokli>
oh yeah, all this assisted handover, and steering of clients towards a specific AP and band. Fun.
<betawaffle>
i've been really happy with my unifi aps, for the week i've had them so far
